Abstract

Microorganism bioremediation of seafood processing plant wastewater is a viable alternative to the traditional effluent treatment technique of recovery and removal. Five seafood processing plants in and around Veraval were sampled for waste water. This water was transported to lab in controlled condition and were analysed for eutrophic component present and BOD, COD value evaluation. Soil samples from the same places were collected for bacterial isolation. From them over 40 bacterial strains were collected from five different seafood processing industry soil samples near Veraval
